Cleaning the Oil System Module
CAUTION: To prevent engine damage, the oil cooler
must be replaced if there was a bearing failure. Debris
from a bearing failure cannot be removed from the oil
cooler.
CAUTION: To prevent engine damage, do not attempt
to clean the assembled oil system module in solvent.
Solvent will be trapped in the oil cooler, regulator valve
assembly, and oil thermal valve assembly. Failure to
follow this caution could result in engine damage.
The following items should be removed:
• Oil cooler
• Regulator valve assembly
• Oil thermal valve assembly
The oil system module housing and lube adapter can
be cleaned in solvent and blown dry with clean filtered
compressed air.
1. Immerse the disassembled oil cooler housing and
lube adapter into a suitable solvent.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury or
death, wear safety glasses with side shiel
ds.
Limit compressed air pressure to 207 k
Pa (30 psi).
2. Flush and drain the oil cooler housing
and
lube adapter to remove any residue. Dr
